Beauty And The Beast Lyrics

Cover art for Beauty And The Beast lyrics by Céline Dion

This song is sooo beautiful and I've fallen in love with it all over again but with regards to the meaning...

I think that it's about two people who never really liked each other but eventually fell in love with each other. Because the first verse -which I think really just tells you what the whole is about- says:

Tale as old as time True as it can be Barely even friends Than somebody bends Unexpectedly

The first two lines could mean that the story is such an old story but still very realistic And the rest of the verse is how two people aren't very close 'barely even friends' but then someone changes unexpectedly.

After that I think the song is pretty self explanatory.

Just a little change Small, to say the least Both a little scared Neither one prepared

It's a small change, hardly noticeable but they're both a bit scared about it and neither one of them was prepared for it.

Such a beautiful song. Timeless.
